Don't apologize
I was looking to see if you left an address. Good luck.
I do apologize
I took the fact that DRC was in California (I couldn't remember what town she said) and that it was a work from home company and just assumed....You are right, though, it's not the same company, and I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. She assured me they are certified with the AAMT (or whatever it's called! :) and they are legit.
By the way, I got the job :) at 1-1/2 times what I am making now!!
I do apologize
Delete away.
I apologize...
....for my foul language; I'll refrain from using such offensive terms in the future. 
Don't apologize
Many of us have had these issues to deal with at certain times in our lives. Don't be sorry for coming on here to fellow MTs to vent. Worrying will not change things, of course. All you can do is your best. Are your bills paid? Is there food in your cupboards? If your needs are met, you're doing a lot better than some. I don't have much money at the end of my paycheck to put away, but all of our bills are paid and my kids' bellies are full, so I'm happy. Things do get tight, especially this time of the year, but it always seems to work out, and I will give credit for all of this to God. I have yet to see one promise He has made that has not been kept in our lives. Just keep doing your best!
I apologize (me), but
I have read a lot of posts and I do not know about which company you posted, but do agree that no one can guarantee work! I have read bad on both companies, but also good. Thanks, LOL.
I apologize
Getting ahead of myself and got misinformation. *MDI-Maryland people are moving to Transcend as they are – if they are ICs then they will remain so.*
I guess we are too early in the game....
Here, Here!, Welcome To, Although I don't apologize SM
for those who certainly wouldn't want me to, I enjoyed your description of the torch-bearing mob I've been imagining myself these past few days. :)
I apologize for the typos.
I guess I shouldn't try to type when I'm upset. 
Ok, I see your point. I apologize. (sm)
There was a point in my life where I had kids and a family to support and so it was more crucial at that time for me to have work always. Now I can be more flexible about it. Didn't mean to be mean. Sorry.
Why should you apologize for your post?
Why are people crabbing about asking you to e mail? I thought the lunar eclipse was last week...but is there a full moon out there today? LOL
Okay. I apologize. Didn't know
anyone was allowed to have Monday off. That's what I was told when I started. Good thing for you because you don't have to worry about Monday-after-the-end-of-the-pay-period. 
No need to apologize for length!
I am hoping for logical thinking in-depth reasoning such as yours. :)
Glad you feel better and we apologize, but sm
Administrator requested we come here.
I'm just reading up on the new changes, not posting except here, just for you!! :-)
Thanks for letting us invade this board for a while. This won't last forever. Probably a few MQers will be coming here soon to use the board as it is intended -- to find a new company LOL.
That wasn't meant as a "dis" to MQ, just that from what I read, the new program might not work for some. I'm just going to roll with the punches and come here later if necessary...
Thanks again!
I stand corrected and apologize to OSi
And, love the red coffee cup and candy. 
I apologize if I sounded rude to you
It just gets my goat when somebody seems to show a lack of professionalism and others of us work so hard to try and be the best MT we can be, and are working very hard to support our families. The attitude of working whenever I feel like it causes companies to overhire and then the reliable MTs don't have enough work. I am truly not trying to be rude to you and I do apologize if I sound that way, but your attitude is detrimental to the other MTs and also to any company that might hire you. I am sorry, but I still would never hire somebody with that kind of a work ethic.
I TAKE IT BACK and apologize. Someone out there truly believes we are
worth something. I think we have all been taken so many times and have become so paranoid that people are taking advantage of our desperation and vulnerability, we sometimes forget to people there are people out there that still value us and not DE-value us. Apologies to Ms. Reed!!!!
I apologize for the mess, I actually was stupid
You didn't do anything wrong to apologize for.
It is totally appropriate to want to discuss some sensitive career matters privately. If someone is uncomfortable in e-mailing you, then that is absolutely their choice, but no one should dictate to you how you can and cannot communicate. Anyway, hope you get the information you're seeking.
I misread what you wrote and apologize.
My response below was a result of my misunderstanding!
My apologies, MtMommyof2!
I apologize ... that post has apparently
been deleted. After posting above I went back to look at the post that I referred you to and I cannot find it. It was posted either last night or this morning and there were several discussions concerning this. 
I apologize,..this post is INCORRECT...SM
this was incorrect information and i humbly apologize for any further postings below. you are correct...they are accountants. i ask forgiveness for anyone i have offended. i was offered a job by them and i could have sworn they said they were lawyers, not accountants. went back thru my stuff and you were were correct. i ask forgiveness of those that read here and i will be more cautious in my posts in the future, if i ever dare again.
I apologize for any discord my post may have caused.
Again, despite other claims, it was not my intention to stir up such a big argument or to cause harm to anyone (including the company), and at this point the argument isn't even about the issue anymore. It seems to have morphed into an entirely different argument about whether people have the right to post pros and cons about issues within a company and where to post them. I think people should be allowed to express themselves freely on this board (under the discretion of the administrator) no matter what side of the issue they may be on, especially if all avenues internally have been exhausted . I have no desire to rehash, reargue, redefend myself, or re-anything. I think people can make their own determinations from everything that has just transpired that bad feelings have come from both sides of the issues. I just want to apologize for my part in it.
Actually, I apologize; your post just rubbed me the wrong way. sm
I get so tired of coming here and seeing the high drama and the name-calling when an obviously content employee is called management or recruiting by someone who is unhappy.
Anyway, I do still wish you luck in finding something more to your taste. Personally I trust what my STM tells me; she hasn't lied to me yet and I don't see why she would start now.
fatcat, your "heard" was in the right place! No need to apologize! nm
xx
I apologize if this sounds unkind, but it seems kind of cheesy to post sm
how great your company is and solicit referrals. Perhaps you mean well -- I will certainly give you the benefit of the doubt. But in my 30+ years of transcription, I have rarely found that it pans out to refer someone. Granted, you say that the recruiter knows that you do not know these people and are just soliticiting the referral bucks, but it just sounds wrong for many reasons. Heck, I have referred FRIENDS to companies I was happy with and either they hated the company and were mad at me (using the word mad loosely .. perhaps disappointed/whatever is a better choice) or they didn't measure up and the company was disappointed that I had referred such a person.
Regardless, I am happy that you are happy where you are working. THAT, for all of us, is the bottom line it would seem. I want to have a home where I can just work and be happy for the rest of my working days, which will probably be until I'm 100, so I guess I had better make sure I AM happy!
Good luck to all of us. 
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
Nasty, rude, unprofessional.
I spent most days watching TV because there was supposedly no work, and when I quit they screwed me out of the money that they agreed to pay to ship their equipment back.
EVIL
You need to get a life.....
I guess you had a bad experience, but that says nothing for the more than 400 MTs who are happy at OSi. I don't understand why you spend so much time running down a company instead of being a productive citizen. What you give comes back to you in the future. NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE, NEGATIVE.....I hope you are happy in your life because the reflection here shows some real issues you probably need to work on.
Get a life.
I too have "worked" for them, as a slave I might add. I work my tail off and do not get paid what I should. You, apparently a company suck up, get paid what you deserve. Some of us do not. You are not in the know. I am looking elsewhere as we speak because I cannot and WILL NOT take it any more. Get a life. It is not just me as other people have the same complaints. Unless you WALK in our shoes just SHUT UP.
You must have no life. No wonder lol

me get a life?
ha ha ha ha. That's original!! Spelling police?? You have such an original way with words!!!! Things that make you go hmm? What year was that? I am so laughing and laughing.
Sure, but I have a life too..
get a life
.
You are the one with no life
I have not been on this site cheerleading for this lousy company for the past year.
Get a life...
You don't know me from a can of paint. You don't know the OP either, so get over yourself. CHEERS!
you think i have a life?
hah!, work, eat, walk 2 miles and do it again :) but really, its fun still. i never even filled out any 'stuff' about me really. but when you get 30 or more people on there that have a little something to share, it doesn't feel like we're boring !!
Run for your life!
The cornerstone platform is the worst I have ever worked on. I have just found another job and will be leaving in about 2 weeks. Keep looking, you will find a better company.
set for life
Wow, I know that when I went to school and got started doing this job, I didn't think I wouldn't being doing it for a good company. I wasn't educated on scam artists, and thief's in this business. I never start any job thinking I am going to do a half XXX job, and leave work undone and so yeah, I put in all the hours that it required to get the job done, I didn't get paid for my work, I got ripped off. I am not a negative person, I set out to be successful, happy, and yes SET for life. I'm sorry that you don't agree with that, but that is why people have 401K plans,and retirement funds and buy a house.
take over your life is right.
I spend most of my day doing this work. They say come back later in the day when there is work. You get a few hours off, but you can't plan anything.
Oh, I DO have a life
A quite wonderful life, because I do WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO EARN AN INCOME TO KEEP MY FAMILY AFLOAT.
I don't post on here to complain that wow, my job is so wonderful that I just HAD to waste interviewers' time and perhaps push another NEEDY MT out of the running but I had to turn down a job because it required I work a weekend day.
Get a grip. The post was complaining/whining/whatever you choose to call it. If you're in a position to turn down a 'wonderful' job, more power to you, but don't get on here and complain about having to do so.
The only objection I have is that she should have put the name of the 'wonderful' company so someone willing to work and put in the hours and schedule could have applied.
Perhaps YOU need to get a life...a life where you have bills to pay, are the sole breadwinner, and don't waste the time of MTSOs and try to push other MTs out of the running for apparently kicks and giggles, since she's so happy at her current job.
Sometimes I'm totally amazed by the ignorance on this board and whom people choose to side with or against. Guess it must depend on the lunar cycle or something.
*Eye roll*
That is exactly where I am at with my NO life. Thinking about what to do now.

To: Get a life, at Transcend.
Not sure if you saw the post below or not, but I'm looking for extra pointers on how to make the 20K lines per pay period when the work load is low. I'm a fast typist, have lots of entries in my expander and even have a lot of files already formatted with jumps in them to save time. I work during my regular schedule leave the downloads on automatic so that I can type when the work comes in. I've been working different shifts at different times, but still can't do it. How do you do it? Do you have to work more than your 8-hour shift to get the 20K when the work load is low?
Ummmm...a life maybe???????

Welcome to REAL life!
Working 40 hours for benefits is not a NEW concept. MTs have long done themselves a great disservice by balking at change.
You still have the benefit of earning more dollars, but MTs are FINALLY become like REAL employees. You know where you have to work the hours to get the perks???
If you're doing 30 hours, slow down and do 39. Problem solved.
OR
Go to school to become a P.A. where, I hate to tell ya, they're going to want you to work 40 hours.
Story of my life
ESL city!!! I got to the point where I just couldn't take any more. Other than Bonnie Monico who is top notch and a sweetie, it was a rather horrible little experience for me.
live s/b life (nm)
That is definitely NOT true..... get a life!
nm
get a life, loser
The company is certainly better off without you so the owner's instinct of your worthlessness has been validated by your own rhetoric.
fact of life??
Currently, offshoring IS not a fact of life; however, it will become so if we all lay down, roll over, and beg for the profession to throw us the proverbial bone. I, too, have been in this business for almost 20 years, but there is no way that I will ever just roll over and play dead and just say it's a fact of life. If all of us have any passion for our profession, any compassion for our fellow man, any compassion for our fellow MT, QA, auditor, what have you, we all will not take this laying down, but will take Mary's initial letter from yesterday (can we Mary??) and send it to every senator, governor, any politician, newspapers, hospitals, clinics, etc., and get the word out to Joe Q. and Jane Q. Public, and see what everyone has to say about what has become the true fleecing of America.
I'll tell you what I don't understand; I don't understand why you are NOT outraged by the outsourcing of American jobs, any American jobs.
As with most things in life ..
You have to do what works for you. If you are getting experience doing something you enjoy, then you need to ignore the negative posts and be of help to those you can.
I have never heard so much BS in all of my life
Got tough so-called ESL (some Americans are worse) dictators? Get some samples or leave blanks. End of story.
Want to make some real money? Go out and get your own accounts and stop relying on the companies online to get the work for you, and then expect them to pay what they are getting from their client. That is unrealistic.
Got lots of experience over 20+ years? On what, a typewriter when stethoscope was considered an obscure term? There are so many new modalities that the scientific industry is moving faster than the doctors' can learn their tricks of the trade, when in turn can make our jobs much more challenging. You think because you have 20-30 years of experience that makes you worth so much? Most 30+ year transcriptionists barely can operate a computer. No wonder your line count is down. You've got to get with the times.
Offshoring is your concern? Well I fear more the newbies being hired from these online schools that half-train, and then the companies hire them at a very reduced rate almost equal to what they would pay an offshore person. What prejudices we have for foreign offshoring, when we have it right here in the U.S.
Now, I am all for helping someone who is new in the business, but if you are new and you think for one stinkin' minute you are going to make a lot of money, you are dead wrong. These newbies make it worse for ones who have a lot of experience because they will actually do an intership where they are paying to go to work and learn? Think about it. All of these statements are my opinion, and I am so tired of people moaning and groining about this profession and not trying to be proactive about it. Every profession has taken a cut in pay no matter what you do. It is not just transcription. It is everywhere. Hello? Can anyone hear me?
